We saved this for our last night dinner. The service was slower here than at some of the other places and they forgot us sometimes, but it was a nice 2-hour dining experience. We both got the chicken tortilla soup, which was disappointingly bland and needed salt too. The beef "ceviche" appetizer was a surprising delight I would gladly order again. The lobster tostadas were also good. I had the ribeye roll entree which was very flavorful, if rather small. The smoked mashed potatoes were interesting. My husband had the lamb which was pretty good. It was very tender but it felt a little dry to me after my first bite, and the accompaniments were a bit bland. We got the Mexican coffee, which was quite the show. I didn't realize that in addition to tequila and Kahlua they were going to add sambucca, and the black sambucca ended up adding an overpowering licorice flavor that eventually I got tired of. I think it would be better without, and had I known, I would have asked. The desserts were meh. The chocolate mousse cake I expected to be a safe bet in case the corn souffle didn't work out. The corn dessert is described as a corn fritter and as a corn souffle on the menu and is said to come with chocolate ice cream and then with corn ice cream. Very contradictory menu description which was not clarified when we tasted the ice cream which tasted like neither of the things. The chocolate mousse cake was actually layered with another flavor mousse and came with mamey ice cream...I did not enjoy the way the flavors mixed, especially with the sauce the cake was plated in. Overall, I would say the place was a pretty even mix of good and bad/mediocre. I would have expected more from this place, especially given the price, so...2.5-3 stars. read more

Some of the best food I've ever had. Try the squash flower soup! And for some reason I need to keep writing cause....YELP

An elegant and truly incredible dining experience. Dress well and classy. I recommend the short ribs and the tenderloin. I loved their lobster tostadas! Not a fan of ceviche but everyone else enjoyed it. I did like their blue fin tuna tartare and their chicken mole appetizer. Such a fun place to go to and certainly a must go if you're in the area. But you MUST make a reservation ahead of time. Otherwise good luck getting in! read more

My favorite restaurant in the world. That's saying a lot too because I live in Southern California, food Mecca. La Frida is an experience with incredible food. The chef came out and presented each course to us and the view is incredible. Can't wait to come back. read more

We had made reservations and planned for a lovely couples anniversary dinner. We had appropriately planned in advance to enjoy this restaurant as treat. We dressed what we thought was well and what was outlined in dress attire paperwork at the Concierge at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica. Me in collared presses shirt, slacks and tasteful nikes. My wife in a dress and heels. They wouldn't let us in! Very discourteous and poorly treated. Adding to insult, the restaurant allowed others in right there before us in shorts and vans tennis shoes. I'm not saying they are racists and bigots. My wife and I are white gringos. Seems like not many of those were let in that night. The manager, unfortunately named Jesus, was very rude and discourteous. Clearly having no interest caring about our situation. My conclusion - gringos beware. Find a place that welcomes you. I know president elect Trump enraged a few people but business and professionalism is separate from prejudices. To you Jesus, I am a catholic( even the other Jesus embraces all) and voted Hillary. You had me dead wrong. Anyway place looked dated, smelled odd (maybe due to the smell of intolerance) but won't ever be back or recommend. read more

Surf and turf. Great! $40 Arugula Salad. Great $9 Coffee. Great $3. All delicious and reasonably priced. The only item not priced was the flute of MOËT champagne. I should have asked!!! $25! I thought they made a mistake and charged me for the mini bottle. They came back and said no it's correct. The bottle was $160! Watch out! read more

Slooooow as turtle. Get main course after 1.5 hours in and finished it in 2 minutes. Don't get soft crab appetizer either. The surcharge of 30 bucks per person is not worth it. read more

So as a all inclusive place, you'd think that there wouldn't be a limit as to how much one can order, apparently that's not the case here. First, there's an additional surcharge to eat this restaurant, it's an extra $25 to eat here, so in addition to paying for the resort, i still need to pay more- fine but i can get as much as i want right? wrong...you're only allowed basically two items to choose, an appetizer and an entree....uhhh..ok..and then to top it off, you can't pay in cash, they want you to pay via the room or on a credit card of some sort. I feel like the hotel should mention all these items to you when you're trying to make reservations- because had I known all this, probably wouldn't have come here. But that being said, the food was good, better than the rest of the restaurants (better be!) and the service was really good, they were very attentive. read more

This has been our "go-to" fine dining experience in Cabo for the last 6 years. Their panko crusted sea bass remains one of my top five favorite dishes, ever. The bartender has a cart that he brings right up to your table and makes your drinks right in front of you and there isn't anything that you can think of that he can't make. There is only one way to finish off your evening and that was the Mexican coffee prepared by bartender Christian. The taste of this coffee that is prepared with tequila and Kahlua is splendid but the taste is an afterthought, it is the preparation by itself that makes this drink worth ordering. Make your reservations a few days in advance. You may get in, but you'll likely end up having a super early or late dinner. We love you all at La Frida...besos! read more

The best meal we had in Cabo. From the amazing service and nice ambiance, to each of the 5 meals, we were very impressed. Lamb and pork chops were superb as was the swordfish. Tuna and crab apps and the pork carpacio were unreal. Specialty cocktails were worh the extra.. Congrats! read more

I am totally amazed at the number of positive reviews here. I was absolutely STARVED when I came out of this restaurant! My husband and i both ordered the red snapper, and, believe me, it was half of my palm size! I ate it within a minute. We were so devastated that we left quickly after the entree to go and get something else to eat. I returned the next day to complain to the manager and to ask him for at least half of my money back (we were not on inclusive and thus paid full price) but Jesus (the manager) gave me a 15 minute run around as he tried to contact the "food and beverage manager," took my room number, and said he would contact me. That was it! No contact, no refund. I would not recommend this place. Read the negative reviews! read more

For a first time experience, it was a very unique and eventful one. Food is good but would not say its the best, or maybe we did not order the right dish :). Service is superb. Very attentive and timely. Great place to come and enjoy a lovely dinner as a family or on a sizzling date. From the minute you walk in to the point you walk out, its a memorable experience. A must try at least once! ;) read more

It's really quite average. We were pretty bummed out about this place. The evironment is great but the wow factor ends there. The food is really just kinda there and nothing exciting whatsoever. Especially for the price! It's very expensive for Cabo. Considering there are amazing places to eat downtown there is simply no reason to go here. I say this sadly because we are even still staying here. read more

Had dinner at this beautiful restaurant with great service. The food wasn't worth the hype, my salad was a basic mix green salad with a vinaigrette (there was supposed to have beets, found two bites) the Panko fish was ultra salted and laid on a bed of salad again, no veggies, the banana split was not that tasty and the miniature balls of ice cream were simply ice milk. I wouldn't spend my money there anytime soon. read more

Wow oh Wow! This is one of my favorite restaurants at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach. Last night we started with the octopus, it was so tender and cooked to perfection, and I'm not an octopus lover and I would order this again in a minute. I had the squash blossom soup and it was so flavorful and not to rich so you could actually eat it and my husband had the garden salad which came with a puff pastry with cheese in it and avocado ice cream, he said it was great. Dinner I had the rack of lamb, again cooked to medium rare perfection and came with a beat slaw and if you like beats you will love this. My husband had the barbacoa and he said it melted in his mouth, he also said he wasn't sharing, lol. They also bring you homemade tortilla crisp with different sauces, sorbet to cleanse your palate and then bread with a wine butter & rosemary oil. End your meal with a Mexican coffee, the presentation is worth it. Service was out standing and sadly I forgot to take pictures. read more

Excellent as always! But do not come here if you are in a hurry... The sea bass prepared either way is the best in town! The view from the balcony is amazing! I love it here! I've been here many times and have always had an amazing experience! read more

I will start if by saying the resort is beautiful, but we only went to the restaurant to have a sunset dinner. The restaurant we very nicely appointed and the service was beyond good. Where is goes bad is them telling you they are giving you an extra shot with their premium margarita (which was good). They just don't tell you the margarita is $36. The food taste good and had nice presentation just very small portions. The beans for my dinner were literally 8 dots smaller than a penny. For two entrees an entree and 6 margaritas for 3 people and 20% tip, $425 was far too much for the value received. Guess I should have asked how much the drinks were. We had 1 LB of pastor later that night for $22 I enjoyed more! read more

First off, I was not told there would be a reservation fee. I can't believe we had to pay $30 per person just for a reservation. And then we were told because we have the all inclusive meal plan so most of the food is "discounted". Our total bill was over $400 before tipping! The food I had expected to be luxury, for the price we paid, we thought at least it would be similar to a Ruth Chris Steakhouse. Food throughout the resort takes forever, so by the time we get our small portion food it's cold/warm. The food tasted like what happens when you run out of food in the pantry and you're trying to make something out of nothing. Popcorn should not belong in soup, sorry. With all that being said, I think the restaurant was very beautiful, they had a piano/saxophone player that was lovely. And the waiter was very attentive. But overall save your money definitely not worth it. read more

Christmas dinner at La Frieda was as wonderful as expected. Yes, there is a surcharge for those on the PB inclusive plan, but that is clearly delineated on their website for the inclusive dining package, not a secret until you get the bill. The service and food presentation is exquisite, with all seated being served simultaneously. The sommelier suggested a very fine wine from Mexico to match our food choices. Yet another stunning meal. read more

This restaurant used to be 5 stars, not any more. The food was good not great, the service was ok not even good, Place was 80% empty, Getting the bar waiter took forever Getting coffee took forever Waiter never came back Was turned away at first because my sandals were "not leather" according to the hostess. Was told that tennis shoes were acceptable and advised to go change Rukm? Plus they charge u $60 extra NOT WORTH IT read more

This is my favorite restaurant now, the presentation of the food 10, the service 10, the food was so amazing, I tasted things that I never heard of, but it was a fantastic experience, the ribeye was the best steak I've ever tasted, you have to try this place. read more

Mexican cuisine at its finest. The staff service was 5 -star. Chef was accommodating to vegans and put together amazing substitutions for us. So many delightful surprises. read more

Enrique was such an amazing waiter. He was kind, attentive, and overall one of the best waiters we ever had. He was very warm and personable. His assistant was also great, Christian. The restaurant has a beautiful feel and ambiance. We sat on the patio with the heater on. It was perfect temperature as the night was a little windy but I didn't feel cold. They have live music or it sounds live, we were outside so I didn't pay attention to if it was in person but it sounded like it. Their food was incredible! We loved every single dish we ordered. Their presentation of the food was stunning as well. It looked like a piece of art, that you didn't want to touch. It was 30$ per person cover if you are in all inclusive and need a reservation. They get packed and very busy. It was so so good!! I wish they had a restaurant in LA. Best restaurant hands down at the PB sunset and PB overall. Definitely a must go! read more

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful The rolling drink cart is really nice but they do not come back around for over an hour? The bread basket cut at your table is fresh and delicious. The menu is eclectic and unique have an open mind if you want to try some very different... The portions are very small. I ordered a special I got the filet mignon and shrimp at a place of this caliber I would expect to cut my steak with a fork. No not so it was over cooked and I had to saw into it to cut it. Expect your dining experience to be about 3 hours or more. It is a shame that they have 5 different people waiting on your table but cannot seem to get it together. Our waiter Julian came by to take our order make a couple of recommendations and pretty much disappeared ... long periods of time passed by with no service. My husband had to tell Julian to please bring our meals as we had been waiting for over 2 hours. If they could get a rhythm going it would be a much better experience. read more

I read through multiple reviews and decided to pay the extra on top of our all-inclusive to come to La Frida. No, the rib eye is not what you expect and the crab tostadas could be anything - chicken, canned tuna, or shredded pork. For the first time ever, I am wondering where the people who wrote the reviews actually come from. McDonald's? Now, for what was fabulous - the service, the flaming Mexican coffee, and the chicken mole. I have never had mole so smooth. Pure velvet with hints of complex tastes. No harsh, American canned garbage. Overall, I love Pueblo Bonito and will be back. But sadly this restaurant is not worth the extra money. We have had excellent service in the normal restaurant sites with decent food. read more

This place is so fancy, so attentive, and create such a wonderful dinner experience. We were able to sit outside and have a great view of the ocean and resort! read more

Honestly, one of the best meals I've had in a long time and a welcome change from the mediocrity of the rest of Pueblo Bonito's food. The Rib Eye was incredible and the Mexican Cabernet we had was delicious. Even the olive oil for the bread was fantastic! read more

I had dinner here my last night in Cabo. I was staying at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica, so I took a shuttle over here to Sunset Beach. I was 15 minutes early for my reservation and had to wait until exactly 8:00pm until I was seated. The ambiance of the restaurant is romantic and subdued. The influence of Frida Kahlo is all over the restaurant, from the paintings, to the heart-shaped candles on the tables. As soon as I was seated, I was offered water and drinks. Next, I was offered an amuse bouche of chicken mole and an aperitif on house, which was very nice. It was a good preview of what was to come. I ordered 4 courses. The sommelier picked out a wine to pair with my main course. 1st course: Tortilla soup. Nice presentation, good taste. 2nd course: Trio of appetizers. I enjoyed 2 out of the 3- the pork rind empanada and their interpretation of corn tamale. I did not like the codfish fritter. Lemon ice palate cleanser given before main course. 3rd course: pork chop. Beautiful presentation. It is probably me, but I am not used to eating pork rare in the center. So, I sent it back to be cooked more. I kinda regretted it because then it was a little overdone. Oh well, I still enjoyed it. The porkchop was paired with bacon-wrapped asparagus, orzo, and puff pastry stuffed with broccoli rabe. 4th course, dessert: chocolate mousse cake. Light and airy and not too sweet. There was a piano player and saxophone player who played throughout dinner service. The servers are very attentive, as was the manager. He came to check on my several times. Perhaps it was because I was dining alone, but he wanted to make sure I was having a good time. And I did- I had a wonderful evening of great food. It was a memorable evening and a nice way to end my vacation in Cabo San Lucas. I had the all-inclusive dining plan and paid $30 surcharge to dine here. I also paid for my glass of wine. For $42 plus tip, this meal was well worth the price. read more

Oh my goodness, so worth it! La Frida is an incredible restaurant. We first ate there a number of years ago. We were so impressed that it was the first reservation we made on our trip this year. La Frida does not disappoint. The food is amazing. We did a three course meal. My husband had the Blue Corn Gorditas which had a great smoky flavor. I opted for the Sweet Squash Tamal. This is served with pork belly - which was just a little too fatty for my personal taste. For mains, we had the Enchiladas with Duck Carnitas and the Barbacoa Sinaloa Style. So amazing! The flavors are to die for. For dessert, we had the Funnel Cake. Don't let the name fool you. This isn't what you get at your local county fair. It is a delicate pastry filled with a lovely pastry cream. The service also second to none. We don't drink alcohol so our server had some very refreshing mocktails made for us. La Frida is so good we are making a return trip tonight. read more

We have eaten here two nights during our stay at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach because the food and service are so amazing. Notable dishes are the tortilla soup and BBQ shirt ribs. Mobile bar comes to your table where the knowledgeable & fire sh bartender made us specialty margaritas. Beautiful atmosphere with outdoor seating with lovely ocean view. This was our favorite eatery by far and well worth the $30USD premium charge. read more

Located in Pueblo Bonito's Sunset Beach Hotel, you'll definitely need reservations. Was seated outside and got a beautiful view of the starts with the sounds of crashing waves. Super-romantic. I ordered the Frida's Salad and wife ordered the seafood chowder. The salad was really fresh with a crispy cheese crouton. The Seafood chowder was also very good, chunks of fish and seafood, and the cream didn't kill me (lactose intolerant). For the appetizer, I ordered the Beef Tartine and wife had crab tostadas. The beef tartine was chilled, layers of cold cut beef with picked veggies. Really tasty and refreshing at the same time. The crab tostadas were the perfect size to shove down the gullet, really fresh crab meat. We got a shot glass of watermelon sorbet to cleanse the palate. For the main dish I ordered the lamb shank and wife had the grilled sea bass. The lamb shank was really meaty, flavorful, and had very rich flavors. The meat fell off the bone, and it was very filling. The grilled sea bass is a house specialty, and was grilled perfectly. No bones, very tasty, flaky meat, high fat content. Such an awesome fish to eat. If I'm ever back in Cabo, I'd love to come back to La Frida! read more

This is by far my most favorite restaurant in Cabo. The service is as beautiful as the entire villa. The food is delicious the drinks are on point. Everything was an absolute pleasure I can't wait to go back...... everyone's gotta try the Mexican Coffee!!!!! read more

La Friida was trumped up to be the quintessential dining experience on the Baja Peninsula...we must have happened in on the wrong night. The Seafood Chowder had no seafood, save a 1-inch square of a tasty whitefish...nada. The Tortilla soup...very strong base, but overwrought with salt and what seemed to be more a bouillabaise than anything like Tortilla. The spare ribs...way too fatty....the roasted chicken was about the best...I would try MANY other restaurants in town, before I ever returned here for what was supposed to be a great dining experience. Our waiter was great...Francisco, and the ambiance was nice...if you want some top-notch cocktails mixed tableside, that looks like fun, but otherwise...not again. read more

There is a reason that world renown chefs like Ricardo Zurita come to La Frida when they want to do a tasting menu! And, yes, his tasting menu was absolutely mouth watering! But don't let the fact he is not the regular chef here deter you, as the meals at La Frida are always exceptional; from the ox-tail, to the osso de bucco, to the pheasant, and much more! Love this place! read more

Took near 1.5 hours too bring us our food. Which would've been fine if our waiter ever came and gave us more bread to munch on. Took over an hour to get a margarita that I ordered within 5 minutes of sitting down. Still here now and still don't have our food. read more

A fabulous dining experience. Service was wonderful, my server was Juan Valdez and he was attentive, kind, and informative. We got the 6 course meal and it was incredible. They make drinks in front of you and depending on what you order they will cook it for you right in front of you as well! I wish I had pictures but it was all so wonderful that I didn't want to stop to take pictures I just wanted to experience it all. The piano was being played, the candles were lit, the view of the ocean was incredible, the art on the wall was beautiful. I could brag about this place for days. I really hope to have the opportunity to come again. read more

Be aware that this restaurant USED to be rightfully famous, when Chef Antonio de Livier opened it years ago and Luna Itzel was singing with the piano and the wines were spectacular.. When Tony left, it went to hell and will never be the same. Actually, the same can be said about all of the Pueblo Bonito restaurants, once they decided to go all inclusive. For a unique Mexican food experience, try Metate instead. read more
